• Description
• Part of CoAX Coalition Agents Experiment.
• Allows medical personnel to monitor the condition
  of remote casualties.
• Intelligent mobile agents, with embedded medical
  models, migrate to casualty and medic locations.
• Agents alert medics of only important changes in
  casualty status.
• In CoAX, the medics are on a US ship, and the
  casualties are on an Australian ship.

Coalition Medical HQ
1. Coalition medical agents sent to casualty and
medic locations
2. Status and alerts sent to medics (via the
CoABS Grid)

• Results
• Remote medical monitoring allows more effective
  use of medical resources.
• Mobile agents provide country, unit or even
  medic-specific monitoring, while still conserving
  network bandwidth.
• GMAS, the Grid Mobile Agent System, adds
  interoperability. The medic and casualty
  locations can use different mobile-agent
  systems, particularly important for Coalition
  operations.

• Future
• Enhanced medical models with inputs from
  additional types of medical sensors (each
  casualty wears a pulse-oximeter in the current
  system).
